Begin the process after one of your meditations. One of my favorites is the Forest Meditation. With that meditation form, you can ask one of the “birds” to provide messages, or you can choose to imagine yourself sitting against a tree as you write your thoughts. Always begin with a meditation, and end with a Gratitude Prayer.
The goal of Sacred Journaling is to strengthen your connection with the Divine through your HeartMind. The more you Journal, the stronger your connection will be to the HeartMind. The more you develop your HeartMind, the more powerful and meaningful will be your Journaling.
